This station opened with the first part of the Jerome Avenue Line on June 2, 1917 as a shuttle service between Kingsbridge Road and 149th Street. Only the southbound platform was in use at Kingsbridge Road.[3][4] This was in advance of through service to the IRT Lexington Avenue Line, which began on July 17, 1918.[5] This station was rehabilitated in 2004.[citation needed]

This elevated station has three tracks and two side platforms.[6] Both platforms have beige windscreens and mesh fences and red canopies with green frames and support columns in the center and white steel waist-level fences at either ends with white lampposts at regular intervals.

The 2005 artwork here is called Views from Above by Dina Bursztyn. It features stained glass windows on the platform windscreens and station house based on Bursztyn's experience on riding elevated trains.

The station's only entrance/exit is an elevated station house beneath the tracks. Inside fare control, it has two staircases to each platform at the center and a waiting area that allows a free transfer between directions. Outside fare control, it has a turnstile bank, token booth, and three street stairs going down to either side of Jerome Avenue between 170th Street and Elliot Place, two to the east side and one to the west.[7]
